Scientific paper

It is noted that the U(3) group of generalized duality rotations of the trace-free energy-momentum tensor appears as gauge symmetries in a geometric theory of quantization. This paper shows how various interactions break this symmetry in a manner analogous to the observed breaking of internal symmetry by using known results for different kinds of classical matter and the types of their energy-momentum tensors. Consideration is given to 'pure matter', 'pure fluid', electromagnetic radiation, and a neutrino field. The results obtained are found to resemble hadron physics, with hadrons interpreted as microscopic pure fluids, and to suggest that quantum field theory should be approached from an a priori generally covariant viewpoint with momentum vectors replaced by energy-momentum tensors.
